"It's no secret that there are more men than women in politics. What "has" been a long held secret is that working with our male counterparts doesn't have to be a struggle; they often want to achieve the same things we do. They just may go about it in a different way. Roxanne Rivera, in her book "There's No Crying in Business," does an excellent job of highlighting this and other similarities.
